Hosszú leírás:

This book presents a comprehensive theoretical study of fictional and non-fictional narratives of 1984 anti-Sikh violence in India.


This volume contributes to the expanding field of trauma and memory studies in literature through an interdisciplinary approach. It takes perspectives from the fields of neurobiology, sociology, psychology, and literary theory to offer an integrative and fresh approach to reading and locating trauma in narratives. Going beyond a simple reading of silence, the author discusses themes which encompass othering of the Sikh body; visual, echoic, and olfactory memories; somatic expressions of trauma; experiences of women and instances of rape and sexual atrocities; and children as young witnesses and intergenerational trauma, to understand questions of agency and politics of remembering.


Incisive and invigorating, this book is a must read for students of memory and trauma studies, Sikh studies, South Asian literature, gender studies, English studies, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, psychology, exclusion studies, and political sociology.
